Online giant Amazon has issued a warning to all customers. The retailer is urging everyone who uses Amazon to check the 'your orders' section on their account urgently, to avoid being scammed out of money.
The retailer's advice comes as an alarming number of people are being targeted by scammers. The tech giant says it has already taken down more than 20,000 phishing websites and 10,000 phone numbers purporting to be Amazon.
The company has now sent out guidance to those who use the service. In an email sent to shoppers, Amazon said people should be wary of installing apps and software as the company will not ask you to download anything in order to receive a refund or to get help from customer service. Shoppers should also keep a firm eye on the 'your orders' section of the website so as not to fall victim to any scams.
